Dillon Brooks landed on Wednesday's injury report as day-to-day with a rest issue, and he is unlikely to suit up for the preseason meeting with San Antonio. He sat out the full morning shootaround ahead of the 8:00 PM ET tip.
What happened
The Suns listed Dillon Brooks as day-to-day with a rest designation on the injury report issued at 12:50 PM ET Wednesday, with no previous status on file. Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports Brooks is unlikely to play in Wednesday's preseason game against San Antonio after he sat out the entire morning shootaround. No further detail on the rest issue has been announced.
What it means for the Suns
Phoenix hosts the preseason matchup at San Antonio on Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET. Brooks averaged 20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 30.4 minutes across 56 games last season, so his scoring and perimeter defense would be missing from the lineup if he sits. Devin Booker (33.5 min, 26.1 pts) and Jalen Green (25.9 min, 17.8 pts) project to absorb the biggest share of minutes, with Grayson Allen (28.8 min, 16.5 pts) and Collin Gillespie (28.5 min, 12.7 pts) also in the rotation. The 2026-27 season has not started, so there is no record with or without Brooks yet.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Brooks's rest issue clears. The report lists his expected return as Oct. 14, the same date as Wednesday's game at San Antonio. No further preseason games are listed beyond this matchup.
